We are sure that you will receive all suggestions gratefully and follow them faith- u v. As a rule the poorest advice to give students who are trying to learn is to try harder. Of course if by nature they are lazy or incompetent the advice may be sound. In life each person may either accomplish the Wonderful things that remain to be done, or he may avoid the problems that confront him each day. In order that the undergraduates may develop superior ability and be able to achieve victory we feel that it is our duty and obligation to give them sound advice. We all realize that what we do each day helps to make our future what we want it to be. Wrong results in our lives are primarily produced by wrong thinking, and the only way to annihilate the wrong thoughts is to put right thoughts in their place. So with this in mind 1, on behalf of the class of 1947, do hereby make public on this sixteenth day of Iune the following advice to the undergraduates of Bellows Free Academy. We advise the class of 1948 to assume early next year their responsibilities as seniors. It is their duty to see that the desks and walls are kept free from scratches and marks and that all pupils keep off the QQITISS. They should also show by their example that they are aware that the school building is not the proper place to chew gum. We advise the class of 1949 never to say that they have not prepared their assignments because they did not have time. We would re- mind them that they have twenty-four hours each day the same as everyone else. Use 'them wisely. To the class of 1950 we say be sure to bring up the freshmen next year in the way they should go. Teach them the school songs and yells as well as the customs and traditions of the school so that they may be a credit to you and B. F. A. And now we have some advice for in- dividuals. We do hereby advise: That Eleanor Bourdeau show a little more respect to the seniors when they drop into Alexanderls for a coke. That Eddie Brooks refrain from obstructing the sidewalks in front of Xlortoirs 1-.rch morning while washing the windows. That Nancy Kern have name cards attached to her desks so that she will know Where she is supposed to be when the bell rings. mnumnnnnn1nurrrrIIInrrnnnuununuIIrIIIIIIIIIIIIIIInmmunnmnnnnnuuminIImnIIIIIrummmrrnrrrrrrrrrrrrIrrr-rrrrIIIIrvIInmnunnnmnm-' That Carroll Salls do his walking around with Priscilla before coming to school, for it makes the halls pretty crowded with so many others following that custom. That our new baseball pitcher, Graeme Francis, forget about the curves and spend more time on his control. That Louis Dworshak show a little more of his tuxedo around town, so that Ioyce Newton wonlt think it so comical in the next Iunior Iam- boree. That Bud Saurwein keep in mind that this is an institution of learning and not a hotel lobby. He always seems to be looking for the Bell Girl. That Boddy Corrigan go down to Barkeris and dance a little instead of parking outside and worrying about his car being stolen. That Ianet Shepard, leanne Perron and Pauline Campbell practice sitting near each other without talking for an hour each day this summer so that they may be prepared to as- sume the dignity of seniors next fall. That Norma Wilson be emphatically in- formed that there is school on Monday morn- ings at this institution. That David Livingston and Iohn Wood start giving the girls a break at the Saturday night dances. That Anna King, Sue Hermann, Gloria Peno, Pat Pndvah, Claire Audette, Donna Kerr, and Betty Martin lead next years girls' basketball team to another championship. That Archie Richard and Clarence Roberts spend more time on books and less time on womenls looks. That all freshman girls get their last look at Randall Dixon here this evening, for this Casa- nova will be leaving dear old Bellows Free Academy this week. That Kay Collins, lean Grover, lean Buck- ley, Carmen L'F,cuyer, Mariette St. Armand, and Carol Bliss carry on the work of the cheer- leaders who are leaving this year and who did such an excellent iob during the last three years. At this time we wish to mention the fact that the sophomores have in their class four members that are perfect in all respects, name- lv, Roy McMahon, Bruce McKay, Iimmy Wal- lace, and Iohn Webster. Now that we are about to leave you, we realize how much you have admired us, looked up to ns, and depended upon us to show you the way. However we know that if you follow these suggestions and admonitions, you will be able to meet the future courageously and cap- ably. Page Seventeen
